But....I'm banded now left the hopsital around 3pm...bladder works GREAT out walking with the fur babies, and really NO gas pain to complain of....I hope you are feeling as good as am!!!

I am home now too! I had surgery at 8:15 and was home by 12:00 today! I feel great!! I have no gas pain, but a little incession pain and soar throat. Other than that, I am able to swallow fine and pee like crazy! Thanks for the kind thoughts, and I am very glad we all have each other to go through this!

Stareeide4u- Congratulations. Never thought about the fact that I'm a true bandser now. I was lucky and most of my gas stayed in the stomach area, but had lots of pain due to scar tissue from my previous surgeries. Now on day 5 my port area is the only one that really is sensitive. I ordered Unjury online, plus I found some Atkins on sale. Plus it was mocha cappachino which I love. There's so many, and it seems like most people get bored after a while and change brands. Again, Congrats and I hope everything goes great.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
